Recently, at about 6.30am, I was crossing a poorly lit road. I couldn't see any traffic coming so I made to go across.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a cyclist appeared. I hadn't seen him, even though it was a straight stretch of road.

He shouted some abuse at me and I noticed he had "half a boiled egg" on his head and the silly suit - all dark - and no lights on his bike, back or front.

What chance would a motorist have of seeing him in the gloom?
